<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
Jaxcent is a Java-only API for AJAX. JavaScript programming is not  required in Jaxcent, beyond adding a single JavaScript include  statement to HTML content. Jaxcent works with standard Java servlet  containers and provides classes matching elements of the Document  Object Model (DOM), that can be instantiated to match HTML elements  existing on the page. These classes provide methods for interacting  with the HTML elements on the page, and for receiving events  originating from the HTML element, all in Java. In addition to  dynamic interactions with the HTML elements, Jaxcent also provides  automatic session data management.
</p><p>
The initial release (V1) of Jaxcent was a TRIJUG topic last summer.   The initial release was limited in scope, as a client-side Internet  Explorer Automation Java API, and was designed for closed intra- nets.
</p><p>
The new release (V2) is a full-fledged Java AJAX solution for the  open internet.

<p><span class="header2">About the Speaker:</span><br>
Mukesh Prasad has been in the software industry since pre-historic  times (well, speaking in "internet time") and has actually worked  for now extinct dinosaurs such as Digital Equipment Corporation and  Software Arts (Digital Equipment originated the "minicomputer",  Software Arts was the inventor of the spreadsheet.)
</p><p>
He has worked in C, C++, Java and C#. He works as an independent  consultant, and in his free time has developed various software  packages and sites. Some of his work can be found at:
<br>
- <a href="http://www.ezjcom.com">http://www.ezjcom.com</a> A bridge builder that allows calling COM  from Java or Java from Visual Basic or C#. Jaxcent is an outgrowth  of this project.
<br>
- <a href="http://www.blazix.com">http://www.blazix.com</a> A Java web/application server.
<br>
- <a href="http://www.jsptut.com">http://www.jsptut.com</a> A JSP Tutorial site. Somewhat popular,  usually ranks #1 in Google for "JSP Tutorial".
</p><p>
Jaxcent is his latest project.  Version 1 of Jaxcent (presented at  Trijug last year) was limited in scope as a Java API for Internet  Explorer automation, and was designed for closed intranets.  Version  2 of Jaxcent is a full-fledged Java AJAX solution for the open  internet.</p>
